“Excuse” is a song
about someone who’s just got dumped and can’t understand the reason why they’re
being dumped. Instead
of just telling them the truth, that
person is just making up excuses in order to break up with them. Feels like a joke and truth at the same time,
they feel disappointed and angry because
of those excuses. “With a story that I can’t understand,you are making
excuses right now. Don’t give me those excuses, try to think about how I would
feel. Would you be able to smile if you were me? That you were going to teach
me how to be alone, you told me that. It sounds like a joke, but seems like a
truth. In the letter you hid inside a bouquet of baby’s breath flower, there
was only a word “goodbye” that I found.” Without
further explanation, without definite
reason, that person just saying
goodbye like that with such lame and meaningless excuses. “I never knew
that you would leave me so easily like this, when I wasn’t prepared at all.
Saying that you will teach me sad love, and you are making excuses.” Indeed, goodbye always comes at the time when we are at the most unprepared
situation. Who knows that the person
we hold so dear could leave us so easily like that? Well, excuses are just
excuses. And at that time of breaking
up, all excuses just seem so lame and
meaningless, because they separate in
the end eventually.
